If you wish to discuss your thoughts about the garden further, I am happy to do so at a mutually convenient time.
Since my mother moved into Oak Tree Lodge a few months ago, her health has improved hugely. She loves the food, and the staff are always encouraging her to eat and drink, which was previously a worry for us. She is putting on much-needed weight and is less frail than she was. The staff are...
Originally, my mother moved in on a temporary basis to build up her strength, and she planned to return home. However, she has made friends, is very happy and comfortable and has decided to stay permanently.
A very caring home and the staff are so helpful.

A special note of gratitude to the deputy manager for her unwavering love and support. All of the staff on the first floor work so hard to provide love and support, and it is very much appreciated.
Mum is very happy, and everyone of the team is wonderful to her, me and my family. Can't thank them enough.

My Mum has been at Oak Tree Lodge since August 22. I can honestly say that I am absolutely amazed at the standard of care given to my Mum since she arrived. Every single member of staff goes above and beyond the call of duty to help and look after the residents here. The home is a modern and nicely...
My mum is Jewish and from the very first day every effort was made to ensure that her cultural needs were taken care of. They even sent her a card for Jewish new year in September. I was literally blown away by this gesture. The manager and her staff are simply exceptional.
Thank you Oak Tree, our family will be forever indebted for your kindness and wonderful care given with love throughout my Mums stay.

Mum has been in the home for a couple of months now and has settled much better than we could have imagined. She has a beautiful bedroom, decorated with all her personal belongings and she also enjoys being in the sunny, spacious lounge/dining area too, where she has made many friends. All areas are modern, clean and homely.
The staff are wonderful! They are so caring and interact with Mum on a very personal/individual level, which she loves. Nothing is too much trouble and they are always cheery and helpful.
Entertainment is great and Mum loves singing along with the entertainers (and often sheds a happy tear as the music evokes many happy memories).
I am so happy we found this home for Mum. It is just perfect!

My mum has been a resident at Oak Tree Lodge almost a year now, and I have found the care she receives to be absolutely excellent which has taken a great deal off my mind as I initially struggled with having to place her in a care home. However, I didn't need to worry as she settled very quickly and the individual care she receives from the staff is fantastic. Special thanks to one staff member, but to all the staff team in general who do such a great job in what can be challenging situations. I have particularly been impressed with the way staff personally interact with the residents and are so friendly and respectful. The home is clean and welcoming and Mum likes it, and always comments on how well fed she is. My mum is also Afro-Caribbean and I too am thankful that her personal care needs are taken care of. Wonderful care home.
Having visited other care homes over the last few years, from entering the reception the place and people are amazing, it is so clean, fresh yet homely, organised safe very well run. My mother settled immediately and already is eating the wonderful meals, she was not eating much before. Thank you...

When we come to visit my Mam, the reception is the first part we enter and the gentleman we first see is always smiling and very polite and helpful. The carers are great, can't do enough for my Mam and us too. She is so settled and happy in which we never have to worry. They are always doing activities and celebrate every occasion. Birthday, Christmas, Saint Patrick's day and so on. They put a lot of effort and compassion into everything they do.
Overall standard very good! Maybe laundry needs more attention.

Thank you for taking the time to review Oak Tree Lodge and we are pleased that you rate our overall experience as very good.

The care the staff give is excellent and they always take the time to chat. I am usually informed of any incident no matter how small.

We appreciate that you raised the issue of the sleepers previously and I would like to reassure you that we are working with our contractors to get this work completed as soon as possible.

My brother has Alzheimer's causing him considerable confusion, frustration and distress. He entered Oak Tree Lodge who were unable to cope with him. Matters were not helped by quarantine isolation that prevented him from leaving his room or anyone visiting him. He was eventually hospitalised for aggressive behaviour possibly caused by an infection. With no infection found, he was subjected to another 14 day period of quarantine on return. His behaviour continued to deteriorate to the point that Oak Tree felt they could no longer meet his needs. The home declined my offers of help, relying on one-to-one support, which is no substitute for family support. Homes have a duty of care for all their residents, but there has to be some discretion when it comes to difficult residents who are confused and find themselves in completely unfamiliar surroundings. Oak Tree has Alzheimer’s down as one of their specialist care categories, but I don’t feel that is justified.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the review of Oak Tree Lodge but we are disappointed with this review. We have discussed all aspects of your brother’s care with you, as well as the appropriate government guidance regarding infection control and safety. Whilst we provide quality tailored...
We appreciate your feedback regarding the review of Oak Tree Lodge but we are disappointed with this review. We have discussed all aspects of your brother’s care with you, as well as the appropriate government guidance regarding infection control and safety. Whilst we provide quality tailored dementia care, we were unable to meet your brother’s care needs and, for the safety of our other residents and colleagues, felt it appropriate that he move to a more suitable care setting.
The management team are approachable and any problems that arise are always dealt with in a speedy and efficient manner.

I am pleased to introduce myself as the registered Home Manager at Oak Tree Lodge care home. I have 14 years of experience of working in care homes. I began my career in care when I worked as an agency carer whilst studying Nursing at the University of Leeds. At the end of my second year of study, I was offered a permanent position by the company I had been working for.
After taking the decision to leave my nursing studies in 2011, I worked as a Senior Carer for five years. I then became Deputy Manager with Anchor in 2016 and was promoted to Home Manager a year later. I moved to Oak Tree Lodge last year and I am very proud to be Home Manager.
I am passionate about providing a high standard of care and treating our residents with respect and dignity. It is my responsibility to ensure that resident’s individual needs are met from the start of the pre-assessment to admission. I look at a dedicated team who have the relevant training to be responsible for ensuring each resident is looked after with care and compassion.
